“Pale in colour, prettily toasty on the nose, alongside the clean white fruit, balanced, with energised apple fruit yet still with some flesh to provide the body.” 88-90 Points – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Paul Pillot is a producer of its generation, producing wines of great clarity, purity and tension. The quality of his holdings in Chassagne is eye watering and the wines, funnily enough, are mouth watering. 13 hectares is quite a significant domaine, and yet they have become so adored by the restaurant trade in particular, that allocations are smaller than ever.
The style of the wines has evolved over the last twenty years or so, reflecting regional trends towards shorter elevage, a diminution of new oak and earlier picking.

Waters Wine Co An even split of upper and lower […]

The 2018 Meursault Le Limozin wafts from the glass with notes of ripe pear, orange rind, hazelnuts and sourdough. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and lively, with a broader attack than the more incisive Chevalières, concluding with a saline finish. 90-92 points, William Kelly, The Wine Advocate Outstanding. Top Value. A […]
